The idea for this blog has been percolating for some time — mainly because I am a world-class procrastinator. And fairly lazy. Curling up with a book or in front of the TV is sooo much easier. But at the same time, there are stories I want to tell. About myself and the world around me, such as sharing my love of baking. I love to try new recipes to see if I can pull them off. And I also like to foist the results off on unsuspecting friends and family. They usually don’t complain.
I’m also one of those annoying folks who like to take photos of their food — not just any food. It has to be pretty special or interesting. Like a yummy cupcake from favorite local spots Polkadots or Hey Cupcake, because, well, why wouldn’t I want to make everyone jealous that I’m eating a yummy cupcake? Same rules apply to the more traditional Texas fare of barbecue and tacos. It’s part of life in the ATX.
I plan to highlight some favorite places I’ve been (Paris will probably pop up quite a bit – no surprise to those who know me) or ramble about an amazing new wine or tea I’ve tried — or shoes I’ve bought. And you’ll probably hear about the Kentucky Derby and other horsey stuff. As I figure this blog thing out, I hope to put some regular features into place. Until then, please bear with some randomness for awhile.
So, here I am. I hope you’ll join me in Just Judy’s World for a cuppa. There also might be cupcakes.
